Just out of curiosity; at what stage does George Bush cease to be a scapegoat for the current administration’s ineptitude?

I’m not being facetious. Is it for the rest of the Obama administration? The rest of the decade?

Sean,
It might surprise you to know that the Congress governs America and with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi no wonder America is experiencing difficulties.
The Clinton administration’s manipulation of the housing market while delivering short term gain left a long term pain, and not one Obama administration budget has been approved by Congress and the debt has nearly doubled.
Keep digging Sean.

Sean, this blog is the George W Bush fan club, and that fact alone should tell you everything.

Actually, Sean, you can blame the roots of these problems on both FDR and his unprecedented federal power grabs, and on LBJ for his creation of the most awful mess of a welfare state.

The same revisionist leftoid drivel he always comes out with. It was all Howard’s fault, and since 2007 the ALP rabble’s huge litany of cockups and blunders are all Abbott’s fault. It must be terrible to be such a friendless jerk in such a nice place like Shellharbour.

Yeah, it’s all Bush’s fault. He tried to cut into the food stamp line, thereby touching off a nasty slap fight. The dirty bastid.

Consider the demographic in that video and realize that this sort of angry entitlement has been going on since long before Bush. In fact, this is the handiwork of JFK and Lyndon Johnson, among others.

Just as Lyndon Johnson’s ‘The Great Society’ gave the US the ‘Food Stamps’ society Gough Whitlam’s policies gave Australia the explosion in numbers of single mothers. That in turn resulted in generations of children without a positive father figure or where anyone works.

We set out to be compassionate and unintended consequences end up being destructive of the human spirit.

The handiwork of JFK & Lyndon Johnson. You are obviously joking, blaming presidents from nearly 1/2 a century ago. You obviously do not remember the cut backs made to social welfare by the Reagan administration that are still in affect today.

There problems over there are not solely the fault of those on welfare, the fact they have so many government departments and they pointlessly spend so much on its military and pointless unwinnable wars like Iraq,Afghanistan & Vietnam. This is what is causing the fall of such a corrupt imperialistic hegemony like the United States of America.

RebeccaH,
Do you have a question mark over your head concerning abortion?

I was embarrassed to see Jooliar, with a smug grin, trying to tell sell fiscal policy to, I think it was, countries in the European Union. I was disappointed to hear that our government spent $20 million to gain a seat at the UN to be able to judge other countries, and I was pretty pi##ed off when grubby musicians like Bon Voxo and Punk come here and provide advice on how our government should run this country. These fools have no right to comment on our government, just as Jooliar and our government have no right to judge other governments.
We don’t have the government we need here and are paying a price for that. America’s government is not my concern. Something about backyards, and stones in glass houses
